Sun Dolphin Aruba Fishing Kayak - Sit-in Kayaks

Product Review

The Sun Dolphin Aruba fishing kayak is affordable and extremely comfortable, thanks to its adjustable seat with back support, and adjustable foot position. It is also easy to use, with carry handles for easy transportation, water bottle / cup holder and spacious storage compartment. It is also designed for the optimum combination of tracking and turning, and its tough polyethylene hull is tough enough to withstand all bit the roughest treatment. * Sometimes this yak comes with a warranty, so it’s something to look out for.

Best Feature

The Sun Dolphin Aruba fishing kayak is a great combination of durability, portability and practicality. It isn’t a kayak for experienced kayakers, but as a starter model it’s comfortable, lightweight and affordable.

Worst Feature

The worst feature of the Sun Dolphin Aruba is probably its build quality. If you’re looking for a kayak to splash around in and have some fun, it’s great, but for longer journeys or more arduous paddling conditions, you might find yourself wishing you’d spent a little more.

My Personal Tips

Although we genuinely like this kayak, it’s not a boat you want to take out in rough conditions. Keep to the ponds, lakes and slow-moving rivers and you’ll love it.

Customer Reviews

Even with more than 140 reviews on Amazon, the Aruba maintains a solid 4.4-star rating. That’s good going. The 8-foot and 12-foot models do slightly less well, so if you’re undecided which to go for, the 10′ might be your best option.

This is a great starter kayak, light, manoeuvrable and fun.
